"Verizon."

 

Oh please, please, please ...

Presentations like this is when high level industry leaders are most vulerable.

 

Years ago, I was at a "Paradox for Windows" presentation hosted by Borland International's Phillipe Kahn. It was freezing cold outside and when Phillipe arrived, the crowd cheered only to discover he couldn't get into the Liberty Mutual Hall either (this is on Boylston St in Boston, MA, circa 1993 maybe?). So I said, "Hey Phillipe, all we need is Access".

 

During that time, the leading desktop database product and Paradox' main competitor was Microsoft's Access, thus the jab into Kahn's side. He took it in good spirits. Fortunately for me, Borland's stock had fallen a great deal by that point, so hiring hitmen to take me out was pretty much not an option

Love my iPhone, but this is what many of us experience. Welcome to the crowd, Steve.

All these great new iPhone features, yet the one that mattered most to me apparently isn't being offered. I own more music than my 32GB iPhone can house, so I was hoping for a 64G model. Not happening, apprently.
